Week three of the NFL season once again featured contributions from many former Terps.
WR DJ Moore
DJ Moore found the endzone for the first time this season, hauling in a 52-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to give the Carolina Panther a 14-10 lead over the Arizona Cardinals just before halftime. The long score would be Moore’s only catch of the game, and the Panthers would win the game 38-20.

DB Darnell Savage Jr.
Darnell Savage Jr. had yet another strong game, this time against the Denver Broncos. Savage recorded his first career interception to go along with four solo tackles, an assisted tackle and a pass deflection in the Packers 27-16 win. Savage intercepted Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco late in the third quarter to end a drive near the red zone.
